🚨 Looking for folks to interview! I know this is a long shot, but if you’re an archaeologist/historian who has done work in relation to the Tube, Crossrail, or Eurostar, I’d love to interview you for a nonfiction comic I’m working on right now! #Archaeology 🏺 🚇 #Comicsky #London

This is precisely my bullshit to a frightening degree.

Gothic Studies is recruiting! We seek a new assistant editor 🧛‍♂️

teaching is playtesting

it's the same picture

I think today went well. Weirdest bit was when I said elephant instead of element in my lecture and then Mopsy lip reads elements as elephants in the film and I promise I did not do this on purpose I am just bad at words sometimes

It is time

Can I just say something...? 🧣

I think the strangest part of my Peter Rabbit 2 viewing was noticing that the books used 4 hole Japanese binding and just as I was thinking that a sewn board binding would be much more appropriate Domnhall Gleeson started discussing lithography and realized people like me were the butt of the joke

Quotes disabled on last post but I particularly enjoy the cat food tin looking like one of the fancier mass market crime paperbacks

'1970s canned goods label designs, from The Art of the Label by Robert Opie.'

I've made this comment multiple times, but the most DnD thing about the DnD movie is that a good portion of the film is an elaborate plan to open a door, where the party keeps failing forward, and also it is the wrong door

If Domhnall Gleeson getting his arse kicked by CGI rabbits isn't cinema I don't know what is

Next week is what teaching is all about - inflicting things on your students because you are an enthusiastic weirdo. Film Theory first years get Baudry because I happen to like apparatus theory and third years get Peter Rabbit (2018) on Film Aesthetics because I have gone mad with power

This is a great film that I heartily recommend. I've never seen the poster before and I have to say: Sorry original The Blue Lamp poster, I was not familiar with your game

This is all mercator's fault

Another day of teaching finished on Film Aesthetics 2, which means one week closer to teaching Peter Rabbit (2018)

I am coming to fear that the torment nexus tweet was actually a man in the high castle type deal

Cat wandered in front of the camera during the #aurora long exposure

This sounds like a really great activity! I am very much in the camp that one of the biggest obstacles to sensible discussion about genai is a lack of understanding about what it actually is, on both sides of the debate

This is such an odd interview, not just the weird pivoting between "we all use chatGPT" and "chatGPT couldn't write a show with 19 characters!" (sometimes mid sentence) but just the general hostility and defensive insistence "this is how TV is". One of the stranger director interviews I've read

I have screamed about this a lot in the past but in short, my take is that Branagh’s masculinity is too fragile to play the Poirot we see on the page. he has to make him an action hero who fucks. meanwhile David Suchet, A REAL MAN, commits to the fussy rotund ace-coded sirop de cassis stan we love

Mayor: *slapping an AI-generated rail map* This baby can fit so many Warringtons in it!

I know it isn't the main issue with the faulty analogy. But I'm fairly certain clubs used to do supervised U18 nights right?

Sketches by Boz (1836)

Hedonism bot in Futurama is one of my favourite robot designs in any media because he is utterly pointless. Why would you design this robot? Hedonism bot is the opposite of what a robot should be. I love that useless wildean work of art

My intro to TTRPGs was the 2e box First Quest, initially as a player (cleric) then as DM because none of my friends then really wanted to play all that much but I was hooked, living the sad life of armchair DM until 5e and my current groups where I've played (as a cleric) and run (mostly CoC)

A reminder that @dianearodgers.bsky.social and I have a CFP out for an academic edited collection on Folk Horror on Television. Proposals of 500 words to [email protected] AND [email protected]. Closing date for proposals is 15 January 2026. Thread of prompts … #FolkHorror #academia

Hate it when I wake up in a wider gyre than the one I went to sleep in

When I taught Fast 5 this year I made a cynical joke about how important it is to the film that the three letter agency Hobbs works for absolutely not be misidentified as the CIA since the US of course never ever meddles in the affairs of a South American country. I might need to stop making jokes.

I'll try spinning - that's a good trick!

There is a great shot in Chicken Run that sort of emmulates a steadicam shot as Ginger walks towards a retreating camera weaving in out of saws and boards and various other obstacles and I think it's a really technically impressive piece of filmmaking that I would love to see a behind the scenes of

think about miss piggy's place in popular culture and she's just universally acknowledged as a total babe. now think about the fact that this was a gag ("lipstick on a pig") when the muppet show started. she is a pioneer that moved that needle via sheer grind she really did this. she's really her.

Watching THE GREEN KNIGHT again

That is not dead which can eternal lie, Like Tiny Tim, who did NOT die

A classic. Many consider this THE weird Christmas card. They are correct.

PSA: Avoid accidents this Christmas Eve: Light the lamp Not the rat

Your annual reminder that this scene of Idris Elba decorating a Christmas tree in Alien: Prometheus technically makes the entire Alien franchise holiday viewing. Except Alien 3 b/c I hate that one. Look, I don't make the rules.

Folks, I don't like to be a stickler, but the costumes in this ODYSSEY adaptation do not strike me as historically accurate.
